"MALIBU NOBU HOTEL" (formerly known as simply just "Malibu") is a song by Kenyan artist KayCyy and a song off his 4th mixtape in his PLUMAN series, PLUM4N (2024).[1] The song was met with a release on December 22nd, 2024 as the seventeenth track of the mixtape. The song features backing vocals from singer Francis Starlite as well as production from Johan Lenox and Dom Sarfo.[2]

Production[]

The song runs at a tempo of 90 BPM in the G key with a major mode.[3]

Background[]

The song's initial untitled freestyle was recorded during the Malibu sessions in 2021 for KayCyy's now-shelved album WHO IS KAYCYY?.[4] This song would be teased on Twitter by KayCyy himself and later worked on further.[5]

The song would be worked on again going into January 2022 where singer Francis Starlite would record backing vocals for a more further developed copy of the song.[6] On the 4th of that month, KayCyy would meet up with Kanye West who had recorded a feature verse intended for the song.[7]

On July 4th of that month, KayCyy would tease the newly recorded Kanye feature for the song.[8] However, KayCyy would record a reference for Kanye that he had intended for Kanye to record over, though KayCyy confirmed he and Kanye had never had time to work on the song again and the song was met with a release without the Kanye verse and the KayCyy reference verse instead.

The song would be worked on again some time late-2024 before finally releasing on KayCyy's untitled mixtape PLUM4N on December 22nd.

Lyrics[]

[Intro: KayCyy]
Yeah, yeah, oh
Oh, yeah, oh
Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave
([?])
Don't leave, don't leave, don't leave
(It don't make sense)
Don't make sense (mm)
7AM when you call me, I don't care
It don't make sense (don't make any sense)
It don't make, It don't make sense (don't make any sense)

[Verse 1: KayCyy]
Yeah, I'm an old soul
What I see in front of me ain't so-so
Mhm, baby girl, you the whole thing, yeah (the whole thing)
I was faded too much when I called you
Drink a little too much before I called you
Ego aside, let me show you what my heart do

[Bridge: KayCyy]
Make me say it, make me say it (say it)
Say the right words to set you free
Say the right words and move your feet (oh)
Say the right words and make you
Say the right words and make you feel

[Verse 2: KayCyy]
I can't lose you forever (ever)
I need you, mm
Need you in every level (oh word)
I can't lose you forever
I need you in every level
I need you in every, (wishes come true)
I need you in every level (wishes come true)

[Chorus: KayCyy]
Your wishes come true in due time
Wishes come true, due time (oh yeah)
Everything changed to, [?]
Your wishes will not let you down
Your wishes all came true, ah-ah
Wish it all came through, ah-ah
Due time, yeah (ah-ah)

[Verse 3: KayCyy]
Yeah, survivin' with depression (ah-ah)
Girl, anything can happen, no mistakes is just part of the lesson (ah-ah)
Too young for the dimension (ah-ah)
The hours that I put in on my spirit weren't taken foregranted (ah-ah)
The problem was the effort (ah-ah)
I write this shit in stone, all the actions forever is granted (mm)
Take a picture from Malibu, can I dream with you?
And think about some things that we both'll do
Imagine you, imagine me (ah-ah)
